Community boundaries · City of Calgary

The hillside streets of Patterson pull daily life westward — the Calgary Co-op West Springs Food Centre and No Frills in West Springs for groceries, and the Shouldice Athletic Park, Shouldice Arena, and Shouldice Aquatic Centre in Montgomery for weekends on the ice or in the pool. Transit along Sarcee Trail connects residents toward downtown, with bus routes linking to the LRT corridor for those commuting by train.

Word of Life Christian Church has a visible presence here, drawing community beyond Sunday mornings. The neighbourhood carries the feel of a place where people bought, stayed, and raised families — mature trees, a mix of bungalows and split-levels, streets that go quiet after dinner.
